Details

Corporation Tax customers will have to file their Company Tax returns online, with accounts and computations in Inline eXtensible Business Reporting Language (iXBRL) format.

Many customers will not need any knowledge of XBRL, or what needs to be tagged. If you use commercial software most of the XBRL tags will be inserted behind the scenes. But, if you need to know a bit more about XBRL tagging, then this document is for you.
